VALENTINE DINNER FOR TWO

For a Valentine’s dinner, I have the use the silverware pattern, named “Eternally Yours” by William Rogers.

Red stemware also seems to be a “must” for a Valentine table.

On the bread plate (Vera Lace by Wedgwood), I used tiny red pots for melted butter, and baby spoons (yes, that’s a dog on the spoon handle) to put butter on our rolls and on our baked potatoes.

A red heart-embroidered napkin is topped by a white “Love” handkerchief.

My napkin holder is an ice skating girl.

His holder is a boy with his sailboat.

One of my “estate sale” tureens tops another red charger for service of our first course.

I previously showed you this cloche, but I moved it to the table for a Valentine centerpiece.

We have to have salt and pepper for baked potatoes.

The best place to share soup, steak and baked potatoes is in front of the fireplace.

It’s almost time for the Valentine linkup party! The linkup will be here this Thursday night. I hope to see you here. (For more information, please click on Cupid in my sidebar.) I can’t wait to see what all of you (I hope) will link up!

I love the table for 2, so sweet, of course the stemware is beautiful...but those napkin rings are so delightful, so unusual...do you just have the two or is there more, I love the way they sit and the vintage look..thanks for sharing those,,,

Laurie, the figural napkin rings are wonderful! I went to an antique show, and the vendor had made over 100 different figural napkin rings and I couldn't decide which ones I wanted so I bought none. I'll be at the party tomorrow evening!

How is it that you can whip up table after lovely table, and I'm struggling with ONE?

I loved this, as usual. I will definitely not be here by tonight, but if the link is still active, I will link when the table is done. Don't really want to get my flowers too soon. Selfishly whining in my head that this link up isn't on Monday instead. Waaaaaa....
